Iowa Speedway joined iRacing’s track roster as one of the most exciting short-to-intermediate ovals in American motorsport. Opened in 2006, the track quickly became a favorite for NASCAR Xfinity, Truck, and IndyCar events thanks to its progressive banking and racy character.
Its release in iRacing gave sim racers access to a modern short oval with a unique design, blending the feel of a bullring with the speed of a larger intermediate track. The sim version captures Iowa’s fast-paced, side-by-side racing and its reputation for tire management and strategy-heavy competition.
